I tow my TT with a Wrangler and the small stones that seem to get thrown up chip the front half of the fenders of the Cubby. I stripped the paint and am going to try epoxy appliance paint which should be tougher, but it seems only available in white..I would prefer red.

What paint has worked for you? I don't want to put "mud guards" on the Wrangler which I know would stop some of the flying rocks.

John, This an ongoing problem that I have. After each big outback trek I remove the fenders (mudgaurds over here) and have them powder coated. I'm thinking of placing a rubber protection mat on the front of them to stop it happening.
The only thing that puts me off, is the potential for ricochet onto the body.

Cheers
Paul

Time is the only real capital we have. Money you can replace but time you cannot.

I used the rattle can truck bed covering. It looked great going on. It had a reaction with the paint that was on the fender. It bubbled and all pealed off. It softened the paint, best paint stripper I've ever used. I screpped it all down to bare metal. Primed, spraypainted. I touch up when it gets chipped. I may, next year, take it to get professionaly spray bed coated.

Why not use those small after market mud flaps on your tow vehicle. Danny

I ordered from clear mask and this stuff works great, and it's clear. My fenders are copper and where the clear film is on no chips. It's easy to apply and was originally made for leading edge of helicopter rotor blades.

The first tow(less than 50 miles) with our Subaru Forester yielded many small chips to our fenders. We were on all tar roads. Granted, my rattlecan paintjob of about 4 coats wasn't professional, but it showed that I need to take it to another level.

I had mine Line-X'd for 75$ and they have held up fantastic. I now tow with my Jeep Wrangler and they have held up for several short trips just fine.

This is what I'm planning on installing on my tow vehicle so I won't throw stones at my tear. Danny
